Exploring Society’s Divisions

America is more divided than at any time in modern history. Red & blue; rich & poor; black & white; immigrant & long-time citizen. The election of President Donald Trump brought these divisions into sharp relief. It is also fundamentally altering America’s relationship with the world.
Broadcasting from the “Blue States” of the Pacific Northwest and hosted by award-winning journalist Lawrence Pintak, American Fault/Lines is a ten-part series of post-inauguration programs that examine the most divisive issues tied to the Trump presidency. The program presents intelligent, fact-based interviews with guests who are not “the usual suspects,” and who can shed light on the roots of division, the context of the debate, and the possible solutions.
